Hi Lars, I will write up the blueprint. It is becoming my specialty. :) Personally, I think the filter button is a good thing to test. The on-the-fly filtering is really causing me a lot of headaches. On Ubuntu, on a relatively slow machine, the browser greys out while performing a filter, sometimes for a minute or so. This does not seem like a particularly complicated operation, but it is very annoying, and the user has no idea what is happening. The machine just freezes for a few seconds when filtering on data elements.
I am experiencing a very high latency environment right now, so it may be a while before I can get launchpad to work.
